Imagine this: You’ve just wrapped up a fantastic massage with your Board Certified Massage Therapist (BCTMB), feeling relaxed and ready to take on the day’s challenges. As you exchange a friendly “see you next time,” your therapist hands you a refreshing glass of water. To you, this may seem like a courteous act to conclude your session—but this is really meant to do so much more.
As a Board Certified Massage Therapist, I am often asked why I offer water to clients after a massage. The answer is really much more in-depth than most clients expect! That’s why I find it vital to put together a few key thoughts on the benefits of water for massage therapy and beyond to share with your clients (and fellow therapists!).

Life is beautiful—and, often times, a little crazy. That’s why, in the midst of it all, it is crucial we remember to breathe (literally!). Amid the chaos, and sometimes unbeknownst to us, we will hold our breath in times of excitement, stress, anxiety, giddiness, or surprise. Any Board Certified Massage Therapist (BCTMB) will surely tell you how important breathing is to your overall health, but have you ever stopped to think about why it is so important?
